Hi, let me see if I can explain this and make some sense. I personally like option 2 only don't like the idea of passing through kitchen to get to bathroom. If you use the kitchen design in option 2 but put it on western wall where it is currently so when standing in kitchen you look out to the eastern view you have, you may (not knowing sizes here) have enough room to have dining table adjacent to kitchen also utilising view while dining and then have all that space for the family room through the centre. You could also add bi-folds to dining section as well as to family area. Hope that makes sense. Message back if you want more info. Also wondering if you can tell me which design program/app you are using, I have a few but am not liking them so far. Thanks, good luck.

hi my husband is a builder and I know about tiles a lot . there is nothing for wet area tiles . all tiles are floor and wall tiles. yea you could use rough surface tiles in wet area but it's depends on your style but you don't need to choose only rough surface . in wet area you must have to do waterproofing before laying your tiles . you can all choose from cremaic tiles to porcelain tiles. you just need to measure wall hight and width then tiles shop guys they we will work out how many sqm you need or give them your floor plan they can work it out.

Great question siriusky! In the laundry the cabinetry is a white with a careaera marble tops. The splashback will be white subway tiles. So I am thinking black handles and a black or very dark floor, (knowing it will show everything. In the first bathroom, there is a Tasmanian wood (Macrocarpa) bench that runs the length of a wall with a white basin on top. The shower in this room has a white base fitted so I am looking for wall tiles and a floor tile and am keen to carry the dark theme through and run it up the wall behind the wood and the basin but something much lighter to form the wall of the shower and behind the toilet. The 4th wall I will paint. The 2cnd bathroom, again dark tiles on the floor, the walk-in shower needs to be lighter color along with the walk-in toilet. There is a spa and double basins which again sit on a macrocarpa wood top. So wood white and hopefully a dark floor.

I have some more photos if needed. The space is used very badly in my opinion, and the spaces are quite small. We think we might brick in the windows to the floor, and have a window on the upper section only as we are rendering the outside of the house so this 'should' work and give us some more space. We have just had blackbutt vinyl planks laid through the rest of the house, and charcoal carpet in the bedrooms. We both like a more minimal style and would like to take the idea of the charcoal through to the bathroom but in a much lighter tone than our carpets. Definitely want to keep a bath in the main bathroom - I love my baths!!! Both bathrooms only have a shower space of 1m x 1m at most and we would like that bigger. Ideally I'd love to work out how to fit a larger vanity in the ENsuite - and we also think we can change the sliding door to a solid door that slides into the wall cavity to give us that space back. Does that all help? SOrry if I've uploaded badly with all the different posts!!!
